PHILADELPHIA — A Roman Catholic nun testified Thursday that she and two relatives were sexually abused by a priest described by a church leader as “one of the sickest people I ever knew.”
The nun testified in the clergy-abuse trial of Monsignor William Lynn, the first U.S. church official charged with felony child endangerment for allegedly leaving predator-priests in ministry.
The nun said she, her sister and cousin went to the archdiocese in 1991 to report 1970s-era abuse by the Rev. Nicholas Cudemo, and ask that he be removed as a parish pastor. They met with Monsignors James Molloy and Lynn, who worked in the Office for Clergy.
The sisters had been molested as girls and the cousin repeatedly raped, they reported.
